DON’T YOU JUST HATE THOSE DAMN ROCK CHIPS ON YOUR WINDSHIELD? YOU HAVE TO STOP YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE AND GO FIND SOMEONE TO FIX IT BEFORE THE CRACKS SPIDER OUT AND SPREAD ACROSS THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD.

IT’S BEEN A BAD YEAR FOR US WITH ONE OF THE THESE IRRITATING ROCK CHIPS ON EACH OF OUR THREE VEHICLES. THE MOST IRRITATING ONE WAS IN CRESENT CITY, CA. I TOOK THE TRUCK OVER TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP BEFORE HOOKING UP THE TRAILER, AS WE WERE LEAVING THAT DAY TO RETURN TO CARSON CITY, NV.WHILE WASHING THE WINDSHIELD AS MY GAS TANK FILLED I SPOTTED THE NEW ROCK CHIP. WE SPENT A COUPLE OF HOURS HUNTING, WAITING, AND FIXING THE WINDSHIELD DELAYING OUR TRAVEL DAY. THE COST WAS $60.

THIS FALL’S “SPRINT” HOME MANAGED A ROCK CHIP ON THE HONDA WINDSHIELD. COST $39.

OUR MOST RECENT ROCK CHIP WAS ON THE AZ CAR. THERE IS SNOWBIRD THAT HANGS AROUND DURING THE WINTER THAT DOES THIS REPAIR. I SEE HIM BOONDOCKED HERE AND THERE WHEN I DON’T NEED HIM, BUT CAN NEVER FIND HIM WHEN I DO NEED HIS SERVICE. I REMEMBERED SEEING HIM ON THE EDGE OF THE SMITH FOOD STORE PARKING LOT, SO OFF I GO IN SEARCH OF HIS SERVICE. GONE !!! I ASKED A NEARBY VENDOR WHERE HE DISAPPEARED TO AND IT WAS REPORTED THAT HE WAS IN THE FREE DRY LOT AT THE AVI.

OF COURSE, ACCORDING TO MURPHY’S LAW, HE WASN’T AROUND HIS CAMPER, BUT HIS CAR WAS THERE. I LEFT THE AZ CAR RIGHT IN HIS WAY WITH A NOTE ON THE WINDSHIELD TO FIX THE ROCK CHIP AND I’D BE BACK AT 2 PM IN AN HOUR.

WHEN I GOT BACK AN HOUR LATER HE WAS JUST FINISHING THE REPAIR. COST $19. I COMPLAINED TO HIM ABOUT HOW WHEN I NEEDED HIM, I COULDN’T FIND HIM.

AND HERE IS THE WINDSHIELD TIP HE GAVE ME, WHEN YOU GET A ROCK CHIP ON YOUR WINDSHIELD COVER IT FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH BLACK ELECTRICAL TAPE AND THIS WILL KEEP IT FROM SPREADING UNTIL YOU TRACK ME DOWN TO FIX IT.
